Can you say, Cute? I can, and i do weekly. Don't I? I made this card thinking it would be Valetines oriented, however,I think this image from Digital Delights would really would work well for Birthdays too! Don't you think?

He does make you happy, huh? I used Memory Box Star Circle and Spellbinders scalloped circle. I also used Fiskars Star punch. I added Baker's Twine by poking holes in Presley's hands and punched some circles to add to the twine.

Another week and another sketch, Woo Hoo!
Where? Tuesday Morning Sketches..and in as much as i'd like spring to be here..i am afraid we are still visiting winter..in fact as i write this it snowed today..and it's cold...so this card is perfect for anyone wanting to make a cute winter card.

We have a super sponsor this week..check it out below and as always there are prizes to be won!!

This week at {Pin}spirational Challenges there are a whole lot of hearts. What do i mean? Take a look at our {Pin}spirational Inspiration photo and see what you can create for this challengeby using the photo as your inspiration.

Then remember we have prizes from our Sponsors that you could win also!

I have also used Marianne Creatables die #LR0242 card base available at Dutch Paper Crafts and i added Savvy Lace heart (large red) and Cherry Lynn's lace heart (white center). I am also using Pink Petal's ribbon.

I have also used a Spellbinders frame die, a Cherry Lynn heart lace die and a Memory Box flourish. The leaves are a MS punch and the beautiful flowers were made by my friend Sigi..she hand makes them and sells them. Email me if you are interested and i will send her your email. I also wrapped baker's twine around the spool and printed off the bear twice and added his leg, body and head to give him a 3-d look.

Please make sure to visit Digital Delights this week and see all of the awesome designs by our designers!

I used a LifeStyle die for the card base and first 2 layers. Then i added a Spellbinders oval frame and scalloped oval. On top of that i used a Cherry Lynne heart and layered it with a MS heart punch. I also used a large doily MS heart punch and layered it with an embossed heart. I also used a fiskars heart punch. Flowers are from Michaels.

I went for the glossy, glitter style, just like the feel of Mardi Gras! For this card i used Marianne Creatable background die LR0242. (Available atDutch Paper Crafts) I cut the card using the largest die on the fold and then cut another piece using the full die. It is perfect for allowing the card to open! Then i cut the next loopy layer die out of matte metallic gold and then the purple detail out of glossy metallic paper. The last die in this set is the small square type shape in gold metallic. To save on paper i cut the top layer die from the loopy layer in the center, seeing as the purple layer covered it up.

I hand colored the images using Copics and hand cut them out. Added some feathers, and a gem flourish, and a Memory Box large flourish cut from green glitter paper.

I love the images from Stamp Fairy they are sweet and this week they happen to be the sponsor at Tuesday Morning Sketches..so a super treat this week to join in our challenge because then you have a chance to win some of these images... And guess what else????

It's a judged week...and that means not only are we asking you to use the sketch but we'd like you to add two ribbons to what you create. If you do those two things you can be entered in our challenge for the prize from the sponsor!

Here is my card using the sketch and two ribbons as requested for this challenge, i am using Beary Winter #3

I think, i have colored just about every Raggedy Ann image at Stamp Art Designs by Kathryne...goes to show how sweet they are. I know i have a few more i could color..but every time i really like how the image turns out.

This week at {Pin}spirational challenges we have a mainly blue and white inspirational photo and the photo is of cupcakes...so lots of choices to create something for our challenge!!!

This week at Twist of Faith the challenge is to make a card based on the theme of "For The Men".

I used Marianne Designs die # LR0242 for the background --> available at Dutch Paper Crafts. I used
star punches for embellishments. I added the words "U R and Me" to the
jersey and the words "Be Mine, Valentine" to the football.

This is my card using a football player from this collection called Football bundle (we used the black and white images not the clip art):

At Card Crafter's Circlethis week the theme is "Some Like it Hot" or Summery things. I think in America we tend to forget that right now it Australia it's pretty HOT..while we sit and freeze they are getting fried.

So with that thought we are thinking summery things and i thought "fishing" based on the sponsors images.

I created this card using the image "Fishing Note" from Floppy Latte. I added the message to the note and i also found this "freebie" fish on line.

The little fish in the background are from the Cricut cartridge Create a Critter cut at .50 and .75. I also used Glossy Accents to the bubbles.

What a long break...well, it seems like it..i kept feeling like i was missing a card for the last two weeks, but nope..i was on a {Pin}spirational vacation. Thanks for a great break! Hope you all are ready for a new and fun year! This week at {Pin}spirational Challenges we are using Penguins and Bugaboo Digital stamps!

I saw this sentiment on line and thought it was cute. Right now there are a lot of snowmen being assembled in Indy...because we have good packing snow. :)

This week at Twist of Faith our challenge is to use a sketch designed by our owner, Pauline and based on the sketch i picked the image from the sponsor...i was happy with the way it turned out because of the shape and season.
